    About us

     

    QUEERCIRCLE is a LGBTQIA+ led charity working at the intersection of arts, health and social action.

     

     

    We believe in the radical potential of the arts for individual, collective and societal transformation. 

     

    We are both a platform championing LGBTQIA+ artists, and an ecology of individuals and organisations committed to creating systemic change for
    LGBTQIA+ people. 

     

    Our multi-purpose, public facing venue in the Design District, North Greenwich provides a fully accessible home for diverse LGBTQIA+ people to come together.

    • QUEER HISTORY

      QUEER HISTORY

      Celebrate Pride month with a thought-provoking workshop on Queer History and Activism.

       

      Too often queer lives have been underrepresented, misrepresented or told in association with stories of prosecution and disease. 

       

      This session invites participants to address archival gaps and embrace the fluidity of historical identities in uncovering stories that have shaped—and continue to shape—our understanding of queer experiences.

       

      This workshop session covers LGBTQIA+ history, comprising presentation and discussion.

       

      How might these stories contribute to help us understand the present and imagine queer futures?  

    • MAKE TIME

      MAKE TIME

      Embrace creativity and self-expression through our artist-facilitated making sessions.

       

      Explore themes of identity and community through our hands-on creative workshops. Delivered in a welcoming, playful environment, these sessions are designed to encourage participants to connect, create and reflect through craft.

       

      Led by experienced queer artists, workshops include: zine making, banner creation, working with clay, lantern making, life drawing and many more.

       

      All materials are provided by QUEERCIRCLE and session can be hosted in our fully accessible spaces.

    • Queer Creative Wellbeing

      Queer Creative Wellbeing

      Prioritise physical and mental wellbeing through creative health workshops.

       

      Explore the ways that creative and cultural activities are intricately linked to our sense of belonging, emotional resilience and overall wellbeing. 

       

      Led by a queer creative health practitioner, participants will be invited to connect inwardly through gentle, co-regulating activities such as group singing, embodied practices, and mindful movement. 

       

      These sessions offer space for both personal reflection and meaningful interpersonal connection, promoting a sense of calm, community and collective care.

    • Public Speaking Engagement
